Did you know that the outer layer of your skin is dead? It's true! When using a mask treatment it will help rejuvenate the texture and youthfulness of your skin by drawing out the pollutants and oils deep inside the cells.

Make sure to know your skin type. People have oily skin, dry skin or combination of both.

Oily skin- There is usually a shine on your face. It will tend to attract more dust and dirt. May be prone to acne and blackheads

Dry skin- Your face looks dry, feels tight and sometimes is flaky. But you are less likely to develop acne but is easily chapped in dry climates.

Combination skin- The oily center of your face is called the T zone. The T zone is located across the forehead, nose, and the chin. Where the dry area is usually around the cheeks, eyes, and neck.

When you remove the dried mask, remember when you remove the mask you also remove the dead skin and unclog the pores and prevents more blackheads from developing.

For my mask, I use PyroClay. It's 100% Pure and Natural. Pyrophyllite Clay has uncontaminated minerals that are enriched with magma from Crater Lakes. Oregon is one of the regions that formed these crater lakes millions of years ago during the Ice Age.

This is a picture of a crater lake in Oregon.

There's a couple benefit of using PyroClay:

It's abundant with silica (60%). Silica is the prime mineral that makes collagen. Our bones, joints, and teeth are made by adding mineral crystals to collagen. Article Collagen makes structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen and regenerate tendons, bone, muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the skin and internal organs. Collagen also provides a protective coating for our brain and nerve structure.

The clay consists of over 65 minerals, trace minerals, and rare earth to store the amazing electromagnetic energy to effectively heal the human body. Therefore the PyroClay has exceptional power to draw out toxins (dead skin and radiation) to restore balance (minerals) and regenerate new healthy cells.

Find a mask that works best for you. Just make sure to read the ingredients and do some research on the product. Test the product on a small portion of your body, neck or section of your face just to make sure your skin doesn't react to it strangely.

Researchers detect an increased risk of melanoma among sunscreen users.

Any sunscreen labeled above SPF 50 is "inherently misleading" stated by the FDA.

The ingredient vitamin A may speed the development of skin tumors and lesions. Vitamin A is added to 41% of all sunscreens.

The EWG states. as of now, mineral sunscreen is the safest choice made available on the market.

Europe has better sunscreen because of the chemical selection they can put in their products.

The FDA has stalled the consumer protection regulations on sunscreen for the 33rd consecutive summer.

Here is a link to the EWG LINK This will allow you to search a sunscreen database to pick from; non-mineral sunscreens, no oxybenzone, no vitamin A and no spray or powders.

Children

Never apply sunscreen to children with Oxybenzone as one of the ingredients. Article

Oxybenzone increases production of free radicals. Also, has been found to attack your DNA Studies say a property in oxybenzone might be a contributor to increase melanoma on your skin! Did you hear what I just said?

SUNSCREEN MAY BE THE CAUSE OF MELANOMA! THAT'S SKIN CANCER!

Are you asking why hasn't anyone done anything about this? Read the bullets again under sunscreen. One of the bullets clearly states that the FDA has stalled the consumer protection regulations on sunscreen for the 33rd consecutive summer. In my opinion, I smell lobbyists and money. But I'll keep my opinion to myself.

Solution

All you need is not more than one hour in the sun to get the full benefits of vitamin D that your body needs. If you know you're going to be in the sun for a longer period of time, bring a long sleeve shirt, hat, big umbrella and sunglasses. Ladies, there are huge stylish hats that look really sexy that can give you great coverage over your shoulders, chest, and face!

I believe sunscreen should have stayed away from, but If you feel you need it and think this is the only way you will stay young looking, then find a sunscreen from the website I cited above. The toxic chemicals will still absorb into your body, but won't be as toxic than the choice you are currently using.

Usually, if you can not read or pronounce an ingredient on the label, that's a good indicator of a toxic chemical additive in the product.

I say, If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin! As I have discussed before, BLOG your skin is the largest organ on your body. It will absorb anything you rub, shower, spray or come physically in contact with.

Options

If you can't find a product that fits your needs, please look into one or two of these natural organic products:

If you are feeling experimental go to this website and try their aromatherapy recipes using essential oils for skin and hair care. WEBSITE

For the price you pay for all these expensive creams you purchase in stores, you can get an unbelievable product at a cheaper price. Remember, try not to put anything on your skin that you can not consume internally. Whatever you put on your skin goes inside your body through your pores. Let me know your thoughts.

No definition is required! We all know what it is and it's one word that everyone dreads! I have never heard someone say "I'm so lucky! I have acne!" or "Hello pimple, stay as long as you want!" It's more like " AHHHHHHHH!!!!" or "Maybe I should call you Fred since it seems you're introducing your self first."

I was covered in acne as a teen. I tried everything and nothing helped until I got on birth control. Since I now don't take any prescribed medications my acne decided to show up once again for a visit.

What could I use that is organic, all natural and make my face acne free that's sold as a face product? I couldn't find anything 100% organic or sold in any stores.

It was research time. I ran into a beautiful fellow organic lover such as myself *clear throat* and she overheard my discussion about pimples. Enthusiastically she said "Sunflower oil!"

Oil? On my face? Like, oil, oil? YES! Let's do it! I purchased the organic sunflower oil from members only organic raw store. Went home and applied it immediately!

Only use raw cold pressed organic sunflower oil. Let me write that down one more time:

RAW COLD PRESSED ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL

I shake the bottle and apply the oil on my face with a cotton swab. Then I go to bed.

Walllllla! That's it! Done and done!

In conclusion, I used my self as a test dummy for the good of my blog and sunflower oil really works! Sorry to say, it's really hard to find sunflower oil that is raw, cold pressed and organic. But if you really want to try it, write me on my email and I will see what I can do to help you get some. EMAIL

I hope this works for you as well as it worked for me. Enjoy an acne free face with me!

If you use excessive amounts of anything will never be good for you. But if you do use excessive amounts of aloe vera the dangers are listed below.

Aloe vera, in general, is extremely beneficial, at the same time too much of anything is not good for anyone. Natural remedies still need to be used with care and caution and these side effects should not be ignored.
